Music

I feel like in my day I have been exposed to some great music. I just, you know, wanna share my thoughts on that.

Here are my top 5 bands/artists in this moment:

1. Weezer
2. Keane
3. Vampire Weekend
4. Regina Spektor
5. Jack Johnson

Here is what i feel these musicians represent in me:

-Weezer represents the nerdy little punk in me. Not saying that they are punk, because they aren't, but they certainly represent my sarcastic side, and they have several references to nerdy things in a few of thier songs. Which just makes me happy, so see that some rockstars out there are dorks like me.
-Keane represents the artist in me. Thier distorted and imaginative sounds turn into pictures instantly for me.
-Vampire Weekend represents the designer in me. I love the funky baroque sound they infuse into some of thier songs. When I think up clothing and accessory designs, usually it looks a lot like how Vampire Weekend sounds. (Plus they have a song with my name in it! How cool is that?)
-Regina Spektor represnts the vintage woman in me. I think any girl that is a fan of Regina is inspired by her style. I feel like everything is a little more gorgeous when I listen to her.
-Jack Johnson represents the sincere, humble, chill side of me. I don't think that I let this side out as much as I should. But Jack certainly brings it out.

My top 10 favorite songs at this moment (in no particular order):

1. Yoshimi Battle the Pink Robots- by Flaming Lips
2. The Frog Prince- by Keane

In conclusion I feel like I should mention how wonderful classical music and orchestrated movie soundtracks are. I love classical music, especially playing it, and I love how movie soundtracks can stir up the imagination.
